About This Home

As of January 2025

MULTIPLE OFFERS RECEIVED - HGHEST & BEST DUE BY TUESDAY 11/26 @ 5:00. THEY'VE DONE IT ALL!! Wait until you see this adorable Dutch Colonial in the Pick neighborhood in Elmhurst! The current owners have lovingly updated nearly every inch of this home. This charming three-bedroom 1.5 bath home lives large and is ready for the next lucky owners. You'll feel at once nostalgic and yearning for this to be your future! The kitchen was completely gutted in 2022, bringing in new fronts to the cabinets cabinets & drawers, new pantry cabinet, quartz countertops and appliances to complete this darling space. The half bath was redone & reconfigured with the addition of a pocket door. All of the flooring was replaced on the 1st floor and the windows are newer as well. For a more open floor plan the wall in the DR was opened up and now exposes the stairway. You will love the full bath on the 2nd floor which was just completed in 2024 - it is magazine worthy! A cozy finished basement offers an additional gathering space - the ceiling was redone with recessed lighting installed and the flooring was replaced as well. The outside is just as charming as the inside and offers more opportunities to gather and host. The large deck was just painted this summer and the owners installed a privacy fence. Gorgeous new landscaping adds to the home's peaceful presence. A pull-down ladder allows for easy access to the attic for great storage. For peace of mind there are many other updates as well: Water heater 2022, A/C 2021 & Water Softener 2022. In addition, all of the lighting was replaced throughout the home. A detached two-car garage offers plenty of storage and workspace. You will be spoiled by this home's convenient location! Downtown Elmhurst is within close proximity and you'll have quick access to major highways and route 83. This home also offers easy access to the newly finished Pick Park, Salt Creek Trail and the Prairie Path offering all kinds of outdoor activity. Don't miss the opportunity to own this darling move-in ready home!
